In a strong style, AKEL, through its MP Christos Christofidis, in an announcement asks after the persecution of Art Professor George Gabriel, the resignation of the Minister of Education Prodromos Prodromos. In his statements, Mr. Christofides states characteristically: ¨ “To resign and go home”. Elsewhere, Mr. Christofides stated that as AKEL, they registered today in the Education Committee of the Parliament the issue that has arisen with the instructions of the Minister of Education for tearing pages from a specific book. The issue is particularly serious in terms of the content of our education, but also the approach of the Ministry of Education itself.
“After the unprecedented emptying of the Minister of Education by the President of the Republic himself with the extremely rare after a meeting of the President of the Republic with a Minister that the Presidency issues a statement and corrupts its political decisions, we had another unprecedented institutional emptiness today: “The Attorney General denies the allegations of Mr. Prodromos that the prosecution of a teacher-painter is a matter for the Legal Service”, noted Mr. Christofidis.
Mr. Prodromou, added the AKEL MP, refuses to take responsibility for his actions. For the hunting of works of art he throws them in the Legal Service, for the medieval tearing of books he throws them to the bureaucrats of the Ministry, for his generally authoritarian and backward behavior he is covered behind everyone, while we all know that everything was his own political decisions.
Mr. Prodromou, said Mr. Christofidis, expresses a completely backward and authoritarian mentality in the education system. This mentality threatens both our education and our democratic culture.
Finally, he stressed that even after the current developments, the Minister of Education must understand that there is only one way, that of political correctness and respect: to resign and go home.
